Worthing Buzz Bingo Could Be Redeveloped into Housing

Worthing | July 25, 2024

A bingo hall in Worthing may be demolished and redeveloped into a residential and commercial complex.

Cayuga Developments intends to replace Buzz Bingo on Rowlands Road with 47 flats, six houses, and commercial spaces.

The new owner of the site, cited the building’s poor condition and contamination issues as reasons for the proposed demolition. Director Matt Hoad stated that the company is in discussions with Buzz Bingo, which has a lease until 2039, about the future plans. A public exhibition was held to gather residents’ feedback before submitting a formal application.

The proposed redevelopment aims to retain the character of the building’s frontage while adding windows and a top-floor extension. It includes high-quality residential accommodation, commercial spaces at ground level, and small townhouses with gardens at the rear. The development will also feature soft landscaping and a low-energy design. Buzz Bingo, open since a recent refurbishment, will continue operations during this process.
